Recruiting Analytics Specialist (Contract)

We’re hiring a Recruiting Analytics Specialist to join our Talent function and help power our recruiting insights engine. This is a high-impact, individual contributor role responsible for turning complex talent data into insights that drive better hiring decisions, improve operational efficiency, and forecasting. You’ll partner closely with Talent Leadership, Recruiters, and HR Ops to build dashboards, run talent funnel analyses, and implement automations that help us scale. Your work will enable visibility into how we hire, where we’re slowing down, and how we can improve. From optimizing our dashboards in Looker Studio to ensuring data quality across Greenhouse and BIC, you’ll help build the analytics backbone of a growing Talent Center of Excellence — supporting 168+ hires planned in 2025.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of recruiting data, automation, and business storytelling — someone who wants to help a world-class Talent team move faster and smarter.

The impact you will have:

• Own and optimize our Talent dashboards in Looker Studio — ensuring accuracy, speed, and usability across sourcing, pipeline, and offer data.
• Partner with Recruiters and Talent Leaders to analyze recruiting funnel metrics, hiring performance, and talent forecasts.
• Build automations and data tools (e.g., Apps Script, Python, or no-code platforms) to reduce manual tracking and reporting effort.
• Audit and clean data across Greenhouse, BIC, and Google Sheets to ensure consistency and reliability.
• Run ad hoc analyses and build visualizations that help answer questions like: “Where are we slowing down?”, “Which channels are most effective?”, or “How do we track to plan?”
• Collaborate with People Ops on integrated metrics (e.g., headcount actuals vs. plan) and workforce data governance.
• Translate complex data into clear stories and recommendations for cross-functional stakeholders.

What we’re looking for:

• At least 2–4 years of professional experience in a recruiting analytics or people analytics position
• You’ve built and maintained dashboards in Looker Studio and know how to design for speed, scalability, and accuracy.
• You are deeply familiar with recruiting systems like Greenhouse and have experience integrating or analyzing BIC/ATS data.
• Strong proficiency with Google Sheets, SQL, and/or Python. Able to work with large datasets, clean and transform data, and build models to inform decisions.
• Experience with workflow automation using Google Apps Script, Zapier, or similar tools. You look for ways to make manual processes disappear.
• You understand the recruiting lifecycle and can help the team measure what matters — from time-to-fill and source effectiveness to recruiter load and funnel health.
• Able to explain data trends and recommended optimizations clearly to recruiters, hiring managers, and leadership teams.

About the Team:

Our Talent & HR Operations team is distributed across the US and LATAM, blending junior and senior team members into a collaborative, fast-paced environment. We value structure, autonomy, and clarity — and stay connected through regular standups, async docs, and shared ownership of outcomes. We thrive in ambiguity, prioritize progress over perfection, and build for scale. You’ll be joining a culture that values kindness, curiosity, and a relentless focus on impact.

• Asynchronous-first: We are globally distributed and default to async tools (Slack, Loom, Notion) to work efficiently.
• Overlap Hours: All team members must have 4+ hours of overlap with 7am–12pm PST (M–F) to support collaboration.
• Rotating On-Call: The team rotates coverage 2–3x per year for Slack/email while others are offline — each member does this once/year.
